  You want a monopoly on all web trading that can be controlled by totalitarian governments and used to censor LGBTQ+ individuals?

  Cause putting everything behind Cloudflare is gonna do that. Just look at the Amazon outage the other day or the M$ hosting crash today.

    Cloudflare can’t be forced to censor anything because CDNs are not actually needed by the internet, they’re just nice to have. The only place where they could actually do anything is in the registrar business, where any foul play would just result in de-accreditation by ICANN.

    AWS, Azure, and Oracle do have too much power over the internet, but that’s a different scenario.
